Installation

Reboot. The TinyTwin tuners should appear as normal, i.e /dev/dvb/adaptor<n> and adaptor<n+1>

Notes

The current version's infra-red receiver is not working under current versions of ubuntu or mythbuntu (i.e. with the included remote control). See here, here and here. If you manage to get it working, please post your instructions on this page.

Currently Only available via v4l-dvb trunk

UDEV reports a serial number for easy enumeration when needed ATTRS{serial}

1st time around the frontend for the second adapter may fail to appear, just remove and reinsert the TT and it should be fine. I've never seen the problem repeat itself.

There have been some reports of "works "out of the box"" in Ubuntu 9.04 - No need for above installation steps.

For me to enable the second adapter under Ubuntu 9.04 the module dvb-usb-af9015 needed to be called with the parameter "dual_mode=1". You can have this option load by default in Ubuntu 9.04 by creating a file under the /etc/modprobe.d folder with a .conf extension e.g. "/etc/modprobe.d/tinytwin.conf" containing a single line of "options dvb-usb-af9015 dual_mode=1" following a reboot you're good to go with both tuners.

the in-progress driver at http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015/ has been undergoing recent changes and if you are experiencing difficulties with your distribution bundled driver you may want to run a hg clone over this driver tree to rebuild the dvb drivers.
